This is one of the best posts I’ve ever seen on these forums. I’m not wumming either it’s Martin Luther king ****. Class!
I guess all we can do is laugh... let's be honest if it was them down the road or anyone else we would find it hilarious. it really just is....
it's that old saying if something appears to good to be true it usually is. or if something doesn't feel right it isn't
And that no-one has said so and that’s because it suits everyone (Ashley/Staveley/PIF/Reubens) to say nothing especially those who have lost £17M and a great deal of face if it has been rejected. Makes sense to me.
Because people will eventually know anyway. And by telling they can then also tell people what they are going to do about it. Staveley is currently suing Barclays Bank for £3.6 billion. I don’t read her as a shy lass who will just crawl away. PIF are not going to want to lose face to Qatar. They won’t just walk away either. No announcement means it’s still on the table.
In answer to the first point if the takeover has been approved or rejected. To the second point...????
If they blocked it then they have to justify why the failed Amanda Staveley and the Reuben Brothers. Not going to happen. Staveley is suing Barclays for £1.6 billion. The PL are chicken feed. By the time Staveley, Reubens and PIF are finished, the PL will be financially bankrupt.
